Feeling overwhelmed by yesterday's Direct and want to chill your Pokémon beans for a minute or two with something less important and very silly? Then look no further than this newly-spotted Sword and Shield curio.

As owners of the new titles will know, one in-game feature allows you to set up camp with your Pokémon buddies to run around, play with toys, and make the best curries the world has ever seen. Members of your team will entertain themselves if you're dealing with something else, usually by taking a nap or simply exploring their surroundings. This Zacian has other ideas.

Of course, what we're really seeing here is a very minor bug, whereby the character model of Zacian isn't quite moving in the way that it should. But that's boring. So instead, here's a moonwalking Zacian, doing it completely of its own accord and for long enough that it gets more amusing with each passing second.

We don't know about you, but the confidence and swagger of Zacian's seemingly endless moonwalk (seriously, where did it go?) can only be rivalled by one other fantastic moment in recent Nintendo history. We're talking, of course, about the Luigi Death Stare. Perhaps the two should team up?

It gets better, too. You see, with the clip being shared online, the internet immediately did what it does best by offering up an improved version in the replies. You might know where this is going:

Ryan can list the first 151 Pokémon all in order off by heart – a feat he calls his ‘party trick’ despite being such an introvert that he’d never be found anywhere near a party. He’d much rather just have a night in with Mario Kart and a pizza, and we can’t say we blame him.

@ryancraddock Honestly you're probably better off not reading the comments on this article - It's about Pokemon and there is literally no possible way to talk about Pokemon on this site without starting something anymore. I think it might be safer to walk in a minefield. A real minefield. I'm sure I'll get like a dozen dislikes for this.

But I appreciate you sharing nonetheless. This was pointless but neat and harmless. I like it. Keep on fighting the fight.

@Heavyarms55 Thanks, we like to offer up some random sillyness every now and then - games are supposed to be fun, after all!

I know there will be people who aren't a fan of stories like this, and that anything Pokémon-related will always spark heated conversation because its fans are so passionate, but we see a lot of people enjoying these articles too and we're always working on different types of content to provide something for everyone. 🙂

Hm... A character who's remained iconic across the ages behaving how he was programmed to, versus a character who will be as relevant as Dialga when the next generation comes out behaving strangely because of a bug that most players probably won't even see...

"Feeling overwhelmed by yesterday's Direct and want to chill your Pokémon beans for a minute or two with something less important and very silly?" From the comments section I'd say they aren't. Its weird seeing a fan base so defensive about something that is a bug in almost every game ever made. NPC's walking in place is hardly new.

@ryancraddock Thanks for sharing this, it gave me a much needed laugh! I’m busy with studying anatomy and a million exams so I took this article for what it is, a light and fun highlighting of a bug that admittedly is kinda funny (especially the second tweet with the MJ music in the background).

@AlexSora89 well, to be honest there's nothing wrong this time, it's stupid and it's tagged as Random.Yes, the writing makes my skin crawl as always, but at least this article didn't ruffle feathers for the sake of it.It might be too cringey, too meme-y of an article, but at least it's inoffensive this time.

I enjoyed the article, being an MJ fan and that my son is currently ENJOYING Pokémon Sword right now, his first proper Pokémon game. I shared the article on Twitter & with some fellow MJ fans, it’s extremely nice and refreshing to see him referenced in this way, trust me, so thank you @nintendolife, @antdickens and @ryancraddock ❤️
